A Saturday afternoon at a Phoenix apartment complex turned into another crime scene when shots rang out from a passing car, hitting two men and sending police into an urgent hunt for the gunman, authorities said. Officers swept through the property while detectives worked to track down the shooter and gather evidence.
Police searching for the shooter
According to FOX 10 Phoenix, investigators say the suspect fired from a vehicle toward the complex, striking two male victims. The station’s video from the scene shows officers spread across the area as the department continues its search for whoever pulled the trigger.
A troubling local pattern
The latest attack fits into a worrying string of apartment complex shootings around Phoenix in recent weeks. ABC15 recently detailed a deadly double shooting near 36th Street and McDowell Road that ended with an arrest. That pattern of violence has detectives zeroing in on common areas and parking lots as they sort through leads and look for connections in local gun crimes.
How residents can help
Investigators are urging anyone with information or video tied to Saturday’s shooting to reach out to Phoenix Police, FOX 10 Phoenix reported. Residents with doorbell or dash-cam footage are being asked to hold on to those recordings and share them with detectives through official channels to help piece together what happened.
